This one-day workshop will put equal emphasis on theory and practice. Participants will help mix a batch of yeasted bread, shape the dough, and take home a freshly baked loaf. We'll study the fundamental principles of fermentation that will enable us to make sense of any bread recipe, including the ones we'd like to create ourselves.

Fees: $75; $67 current members; $60 limited income.

Some partial scholarships available.

Lunch included.
